AF/BE 'CO-OPERATION'

Not picking on these guys in particular, just that I happen to go to Paris a lot, but can anybody tell me when 'codeshares' and 'co-operation' become cartels?

Manchester Paris is AF and BE - that's it. If these two get together where's the competition? I wonder what will happen to the prices?

Also the difference in the flight experience between an AF airbus and a BE Dash is similar to the difference between a bicycle and a car. Call me snobbish but I actually feel quite embarrassed getting off a Dash at a large airport like CDG, it feels like I've just arrived from Sticksville. That's one of the reasons I have generally used AF but now thanks to this tie up there will be less AF to choose from.
